14 4. You can select the display language on the drop-down menu on the login page of the NAS or after you login the NAS. 14

15 5. The NAS supports SSL secure login which enables you to configure and manage the server by encrypted transfer. To use this function, check the box SSL login on the administration page and login the server. Note: If your NAS is placed behind an NAT gateway and you want to access the NAS by secure login from the Internet, you must open the port 443 on your NAT and forward this port to LAN IP of the NAS. 15

16 Chapter 3 Server Administration There are 8 main sections in server administration. Click on the triangle icon next to the section name to expand the tree and view the items listed under each section. 16

17 To access the services such as Web File Manager, Download Station, Multimedia Station, and Surveillance Station, you can select the services from the drop-down menu or click the icons on the login page. After you login the NAS, you can click the icons on top of the page to access the services. 17

18 3.1 System Administration You can configure the general system settings, network settings, and hardware settings, update the firmware, etc. in this section. 18

19 3.1.1 General Settings System Administration Enter the name of the NAS. The server name can be 14 characters long at maximum, which supports alphabets, numbers, and hyphen (-). The server does not accept names with space, period (.), or names in pure number. Assign a port for the system management. The default port is The services which use this port include: System Management, Web File Manager, Multimedia Station, and Download Station. Date and Time Set the date, time, and time zone according to your location. If the settings are incorrect, the following problems may occur: When using a web browser to access the server or save a file, the display time of the action will be incorrect. The time of event log displayed will be inconsistent with the actual time when an action occurs. 19

20 Synchronize with an Internet time server automatically You can enable this option to update the date and time of the system automatically with specified NTP (Network Time Protocol) server. Enter the IP address or domain name of the NTP server, e.g. time.nist.gov, time.windows.com. Then enter the time interval for adjusting the time. Note: The first time you enable NTP server, it may take several minutes for time synchronization before the time is correctly adjusted. Language Select the language the NAS uses to display files and directories. Note: All the files and directories on the NAS will be created using Unicode encoding. If your FTP clients or the OS of your PC does not support Unicode, e.g. Windows 95/98/ME, select the language the same as your OS here in order to view the files and directories on the server properly. 20

21 3.1.2 Network TCP/IP Click to edit the network settings. 21

22 You can select one of the following two methods to configure the TCP/IP settings of the NAS. Obtain IP address settings automatically via DHCP If your network supports DHCP, the NAS will use DHCP protocol to retrieve the IP address and related information automatically. Use static IP address To use fixed IP address for network connection, enter fixed IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. 22

23 Enable DHCP Server If no DHCP is available in the LAN where the NAS locates, you can enable this function to enable the NAS as a DHCP server and allocate dynamic IP address to DHCP clients in LAN. You can set the range of IP addresses allocated by DHCP server and the lease time. Lease time refers to time that IP address is leased to the clients by DHCP server. When the time expires, the client has to acquire an IP address again. For example, to establish a DLNA network, and share the multimedia files on the NAS to DLNA digital media player via UPnP while there is no NAT gateway that supports DHCP server, you can enable DHCP server of the NAS. The NAS will allocate dynamic IP address to DMP or other clients automatically and set up a local network. Note: If there is an existing DHCP server in your LAN, do not enable this function. Otherwise, there will be IP address allocation and network access errors. Port Trunking * Applicable to models with two LAN ports only. Port Trunking provides network load balancing and fault tolerance by combining two Ethernet interfaces into one to increase the bandwidth beyond the limits of any one single interface at the same time offers the redundancy for higher availability when both interfaces are connected to the same switch that supports 'Port Trunking'. Field Description Balance-rr The packets are transmitted in sequential order from (Round-Robin) the first available slave to the last. This mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance. Active Backup Only one active slave is used to transmit packets. A different slave becomes active if, and only if, the active slave fails. The bond s MAC address is externally visible on only one port (network adapter) to avoid confusing the switch. This mode provides fault tolerance. Balance XOR The packets are transmitted based on the hash policy. 23

24 Broadcast IEEE 802.3ad Balance-tlb (Adaptive Transmit Load Balancing) Balance-alb (Adaptive Load Balancing) The default policy is a simple [(source MAC address XOR d with destination MAC address) modulo slave count]. Alternate transmit policies may be selected via the xmit_hash_policy option. This mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance. The packets are transmitted on all slave interfaces. This mode provides fault tolerance. The Ethernet interfaces are aggregated in a group and each slave shares the same speed. This mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance. Make sure the switch supports IEEE 802.3ad standard and the correct LACP mode is configured. Channel bonding that does not require any special switch support. The outgoing traffic is distributed according to the current load (computed relative to the speed) on each slave. Incoming traffic is received by the current slave. If the receiving slave fails, another slave takes over the MAC address of the failed receiving slave. This mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance. Include balance-tlb plus receive load balancing (rlb) for IPV4 traffic, and does not require any special switch support. The receive load balancing is achieved by ARP negotiation. The receive load balancing is achieved by ARP Replies sent by the local system on their way out and overwrites the source hardware address with the unique hardware address of one of the slaves in the bond such that different peers use different hardware address for the server. This mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance. 24

25 DNS Server Primary DNS Server: Enter the IP address of primary DNS server that provides DNS service for the NAS in external network. Secondary DNS Server: Enter the IP address of secondary DNS server that provides DNS service for the NAS in external network. Note: 1. Please contact your ISP or network administrator for the IP address of primary and secondary DNS servers. When the NAS plays the role as a terminal and needs to perform independent connection, e.g. BT download, you must enter at least one DNS server IP for proper URL connection. Otherwise, the function may not work properly. 2. If you select to obtain IP address via DHCP, there is no need to configure the primary and secondary DNS servers. You can enter in the settings. Jumbo Frame Settings (MTU) "Jumbo Frames" refer to Ethernet frames that are larger than 1500 bytes. It is designed to enhance Ethernet networking throughput and reduce the CPU utilization of large file transfers by enabling more efficient larger payloads per packet. Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) refers to the size (in bytes) of the largest packet that a given layer of a communications protocol can transmit. The NAS uses standard Ethernet frames: 1500 bytes by default. If your network appliances support Jumbo Frame setting, select the appropriate MTU value for your network environment. The NAS supports 4074, 7418, and 9000 bytes for MTU. Note: Jumbo Frame setting is valid in Gigabit network environment only. Besides, all network appliances connected must enable Jumbo Frame and use the same MTU value. 25

26 DDNS To set up a server on the Internet and enable users to access it easily, a fixed and easy-to-remember host name is often required. However, if ISP provides only dynamic IP address, the IP address of the server will change from time to time and is difficult to recall. You can enable DDNS service to solve the problem. After enabling DDNS service of the NAS, whenever the NAS restarts or the IP address is changed, the NAS will notify the DDNS provider immediately to record the new IP address. When the user tries to connect the NAS via the host name, DDNS will transfer the recorded IP address to the user. The NAS supports the DDNS providers: members.dyndns.org, update.ods.org, members.dhs.org, For the information of setting up DDNS and port forwarding on the NAS, please refer to the online tutorial: 26

27 3.1.3 Hardware You can enable or disable the hardware functions of the NAS. Enable configuration reset switch You can press the reset button for 3 seconds to reset the administrator password and system settings to default.

Enable light signal alert when the free size of SATA disk is less than the value: The Status LED indicator flashes red and green when this function is enabled and the free space of the SATA disk is less than the value. The range of the value is MB. Enable alarm buzzer Enable this option. The system will sound when an error occurs. Smart Fan configuration (i) Enable smart fan (recommended) Select to use the default smart fan settings or define the settings manually. When the system default settings are selected, the fan rotation speed is 27

28 automatically adjusted when the server temperature, CPU temperature, and hard drive temperature meet the criteria. It is recommended to enable this option. (ii) Set fan rotation speed manually By manually setting the fan rotation speed, the fan rotates at the defined speed continuously. 28

29 Enable redundant power supply on the web-based interface: If you have two power supply units installed on the NAS, follow the steps below to enable redundant power supply. Redundant power supply allows the NAS to operate normally when the primary power supply unit fails or is removed accidentally. The secondary (redundant) power supply unit will take over to supply the entire system in such case. 1. Login the Turbo NAS. 2. Go to System Administration > Hardware. 3. Enable redundant power supply mode*. When this function is enabled, the system will start to record error messages about the power supply units in System Logs. * This function is disabled by default. 29

30 3.1.4 Security Security Level Enter the IP address or network from which the connections to this server are allowed or rejected.
